Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit by lazulisong
Love the idea of Kirk having a fleet of Kelvin aunties and uncles.
Salek is a superb character.
For a not too lengthy, and funny, story also tugs at the feels in all the right ways.
Wonderful exploration of Vulcan language and history.
Author has a flair for humor.
Excellent McCoySakel looks at him for a long minute and Jim knows he's thinking about when Jim hadn't hid his intelligence, before he knew what being better and brighter could mean.
"There has been one other human that has attained this level of mastery of the Vulcan language, and she is an ambassador's wife." Sakel stares at him pointedly.
Jim kind of just has to gape at him for a second. "Are you saying I should let everybody know I know Vulcan so I can marry up?"
"That is illogical," says Sakel primly. "I merely mean to point out that it is a rare accomplishment, and one you should take satisfaction in."
"Oh my God, you have some sort of Vulcan crush on this woman!" howls Jim, even more horrified than he was a second ago.
"Amanda Grayson is young enough to be my granddaughter," says Sakel, which is totally not a denial.
Bones swears to God and on a photo of his daughter that he will never, so long as they both shall live, cast it up to Jim that he wrote an entire paper on Vulcan love poetry, nor shall he snigger inappropriately about it more than once a week. Uhura swears to all her ancestors and on her earrings that she will never, ever nag Jim about his potential until he retires from active duty -- which will be never, if Jim has anything to say about it. Died-With-His-Boots-On-In-Someone-Else's-Bed Kirk, that will be him. Spock swears to nothing and on nothing, but he says it would be illogical to make light of an important subject that so clearly (if illogically) embarrasses Jim, so Jim's counting that as a win, at least until the day that Spock drifts by to murmur 'thy scent, O Beloved, still perfumes our bed' at him in the halls of Starfleet just to watch him twitch. Which Spock will do, because Spock is that kind of a dick, Jim can tell already.

Summary
A mission of this duration has never been attempted. Just a few months in, the crew of the Enterprise are beginning to understand why – luckily, they are also, somehow, making it work. A series of events, both great and small; featuring cameos by unsuspecting planets, complicated interpersonal relationships, off-record shenanigans, and a surprising number of hostile life-forms.

One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat by Android_And_Ale

Summary
Shenanigans ensue when one middle finger to the Academy too many gets Starfleet Cadet James T. Kirk booted off planet for a summer internship aboard the V.S.S. Sh'Raan.
He's hiding a major secret from the oh so earnest and helpful Vulcans, but the longer he's on the ship, the more Jim starts to wonder if they're keeping secrets from him, too.
---
Captain Spisee handed Jim a heavy sheet of rich, cream paper embossed with gold dusted Vulcan calligraphy bearing the ship’s name. It was a bit cheap by the standards of Vulcan stationary aesthetics, but shipboard life meant some sacrifices. In the most elegant handwriting he’d ever had the privilege to lay eyes on, it read:
Human Enrichment and Optimal Health Program:
- One (1) Daily Shoulder Pat (more provided upon request)
- Seventy (70) Seconds of Hug Time Per Week (divided between crew members as you deem necessary)
- Three (3) Discrete Instances of Daily Praise
- Three (3) Structured Entertainments per week
- Minimum of One (1) Social Companion per meal (more available upon request)“We would appreciate detailed weekly feedback on the efficacy of our Human integration efforts."

Summary
“So, why haven't you settled down with some lucky lady yet?” the interviewer asks.
Maybe it's the blinding set-lights, or the fact that he hasn't slept in thirty-five hours. But for some reason Kirk blurts, “Honestly, they all end up getting jealous of Spock.”- Language:

Summary
Two indecent exposure citations, one best friend, one amazing sex partner, one unexpected mentor, and a Starfleet-funded study of intercultural sexual norms. Sounds like a normal academic year for Gaila.
